Vertical Lift Storage for Canoes and Kayaks Key Benefits

ceiling canoe storage rackThe overhead vertical lifts allow you to store your boats near the ceiling instead of on the floor. You can use unused overhead space and turn it into productive storage space. The overhead vertical lifts keep canoes and kayaks out of the way yet easily accessible.

With just the push of a button, the lift will deliver your boats right to you, and they will all be at just the right height for loading and unloading. Pushing the button again will send them back up to the ceiling so that your floors and aisles remain open and transparent.

Keeping your boats, kayaks, and canoes in the overhead vertical lift ensures they will be out of the way and protected from people touching, bumping, or scratching them. An added benefit to storing boats overhead is the built-in security. Casual theft is discouraged when they are stored overhead. This way of storing canoes and kayaks is ideal for seasonal boat storage because swapping out inventory is easy. Watch videos of ceiling storage lifts.

Protect Your Canoes and Kayaks and the Environment

ceiling kayak storage rackA thick coating of anti-fouling bottom paint protects your canoes and kayaks from the marine environment. Anti-fouling paints discourage growth on the bottom of your boat by creating an inhabitable surface for algae, barnacles, and other aquatic organisms. 

Canoes and kayaks in the water typically use anti-foul paint to protect their boats. By not using anti-fouling paint, you become an environmentally friendly boat owner when storing your assets. 

Great Way to Showcase Your Canoes and Kayaks!

Anyone who needs an efficient way to store boats like canoes and kayaks can benefit from space-saving overhead storage lifts. Athletic departments, parks, and water resorts can use ceiling-mounted lifts to store boats safely during off-seasons. Sporting goods stores can create eye-catching displays by hanging kayaks and canoes above the sales floor.

Overhead lift storage bolts to the ceiling of your facility and attaches to a tiered rolling cart that holds up to eight canoes or kayaks. This rack keeps canoes and kayaks secure and minimizes handling of the boats, as they can be lowered out of storage and rolled to the intended location without physical handling. Storing or displaying the crafts high in the air also reduces the risk of damage like dinging and scraping.

Highlighted Feature – Rollaway Carts

kayak storage rackThe overhead boat lift also comes with a rollaway cart (that can also be purchased separately from the lift). The cart lets you keep the stored boats together and transport them wherever needed. It has big smooth rolling wheels that you can lock into place. The carts are 83″x110″x51″.  Buy canoe and kayak racks online.

For example, you can keep the canoes and kayaks stored on the cart and roll them onto your retail sales floor to show off your in-house inventory. This feature lets your customers see and touch their boat without anyone having to strain themselves maneuvering one from the back room on a dolly.

“I have worked with Chuck on several projects since arriving at Kansas University. He is a top reason why I continue to come back to Spacesaver/Southwest Solutions Group for our storage needs. He has experience with several athletic equipment room projects and sweats every detail because he knows it matters to us. Chuck never hesitates to jump in when necessary to make sure the project is finished properly. He is prompt for appointments and puts in the extra time to meet deadlines. Several adjustments had to be made during installation and he kept us well informed we are pleased with the results. I’ve noted several points above that leave me with positive memories. The completed and immaculate new athletic equipment system along with its work counters and modular cabinets will be my most positive memory.”
